Taxidermy Rat Class at The Nightmare Expo

In this class, you'll learn how to prepare, preserve, and pose a rat using traditional taxidermy techniques. You’ll receive your own rat specimen to work on under careful guidance, and by the end, you’ll have a beautifully finished piece to take home.
​
For the second portion of the class, we’ll explore creative display options, including how to frame or stage your mounted rat with props and backgrounds to match your personal style.
This is a great course for beginners or anyone looking to refresh their skills! All specimens are ethically and responsibly sourced.

Taking place during THE NIGHTMARE EXPO on January 17th 2026 at Proctors Theatre in Schenectady, NY.

Only 20 seats available!

A seat in this class is $227 - your ticket includes all the supplies needed to complete the project AND general admission into the expo!
